Los Angeles is experiencing a devastating wildfire crisis, including the Palisades Fire, which has burned over 23,700 acres, claimed 24 lives, and destroyed more than 12,000 structures, displacing 105,000 residents. This satellite image, captured by Hammer on January 11, 2025, reveals the extent of the destruction. Satellites play a vital role in addressing wildfires, from early detection to post-disaster impact assessment. Leveraging near-real-time satellite imagery can help improve disaster prevention and recovery efforts. If you're working on fire detection solutions, we’re open to collaborating on ways to address this growing challenge: https://lnkd.in/etEFus95

Our satellite, Hammer, has captured a stunning image of Nagoya Harbour, showcasing its bustling activity and strategic layout. This visual not only highlights the port's significance but also demonstrates the critical role satellites play in maritime operations. Maritime Applications of Satellites - Port Monitoring: Satellites provide a comprehensive view of ports, enabling efficient traffic management and improved safety. - Environmental Monitoring: Images like this help track water quality and pollution, supporting sustainable maritime practices. - Security Enhancements: Satellites aid in detecting unauthorized activities, ensuring the safety of vessels and cargo. - Navigation Support: Real-time data improves navigation, helping vessels avoid hazards and adapt to weather conditions. HAMMER, which stands for Hyperspectral AI for Marine Monitoring and Emergency Response was built through key technical features with capabilities to monitor the seas with near real place insight. Satellites are a vital tool for transforming the maritime industry. Its capabilities enhance operational efficiency, bolster security, and promote sustainable practices, making them an invaluable asset for global trade and environmental preservation. #OpenCosmos #Hammer #maritime #Japan #NaguyaHarbour

The support from the European Space Agency - ESA has played a significant role in Open Cosmos' journey. As an alumnus of the 𝐄𝐒𝐀 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐮𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 (𝐄𝐒𝐀 𝐁𝐈𝐂) in Harwell, UK, Open Cosmos has benefitted from initial incubation and ongoing collaboration, fostering innovation and growth. The company has now secured over €𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 in contracts, and it is expanding its satellite manufacturing facilities across Europe. Founder Rafel Jorda Siquier's vision of using space data to tackle global challenges has been realised through the design, manufacture, and operation of satellites, with ten launched to date. His journey began with a student project at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, eventually leading to the creation of Open Cosmos. Key partnerships, particularly with ESA and the European Space Education Resource Office (ESERO) project, were pivotal in the company's early development. Joining ESA BIC in 2016 helped Open Cosmos 𝐞𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 and 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡. Today, Open Cosmos continues to grow, delivering reliable satellite solutions and expanding its global footprint.
